Job Description

A cleaning contractor in Newcastle needs dependable cleaners for a call centre floor. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a call centre floor in Newcastle. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor
  • Wipe desks, door handles, lift buttons and light switches
  • Set up and clear boardrooms before and after meetings
  • Clean and disinfect toilets, basins and urinals several times a shift
  • Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave

What you need

  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • Clean criminal record for most corporate sites
  • Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items

Nice if you have

  • Previous contract cleaning experience with a reference
  • Tea service or kitchen experience
  • Training on a floor polisher or scrubber machine

On offer

  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • Paid overtime for weekend deep cleans
  • Permanent contract once the site contract is secured
  • UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance certificate if the site requires it plus CV with references from previous cleaning sites.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • Mention any machines you can use, like a scrubber or polisher. Machine cleaners are harder to find and often get picked first.
  • Ask a former supervisor if you can put their number on your CV. Cleaning contractors almost always phone a reference.
